here is your chance to redeem yourself from the standard dozen long stemmed roses you sent your special lady for valentines day last year...it's time to earn some major brownie points for giving her something that is super unique and that she will actually LOVE! because seriously, grocery stores and conroy's flowers are NOT cutting it this year!!!

so without further ado, allow me to introduce the JL DESIGNS valentines day collection 2010 - the FEMALE edition!!!

ladies, feel free to share this link with your men ;)

and lastly, i must give one more shout out to alicia of the modern type for rallying last minute and taking all of these gorgeous photos for me!!! she is amazing!!

THE BOMBSHELL - $95.00

favorite designers: versace + dolce and gabbana

diva idolatry: mariah carey

favorite makeout music: anything by sade

ideal dessert: red wine + chocolate

this woman is all about the va-va-voom! she loves being wined, dined and then ending with a sweet nightcap ;) what better arrangement to give than a dozen velvety red roses that have been styled in sexy black lace, satin and a glamourous rhinestone applique?

roses available in red, white, pink, yellow, orange...lace available in black, white, gray

THE SOCIALITE - $100.00

shops at: fred segal, barneys co-op, intermix

favorite tv show: gossip girl

drink of choice: vodka water with lemon

won't be caught dead without: her blackberry

so maybe she's a little high maintenance...so what!?!? that's why you love her ;) she has an insane eye for fashion and all things "of-the-moment"...so indulge the blair waldorf in her and get her this chic arrangement of white hydrangea, white roses and black + white anemones...all designed in a metallic silver container that has been wrapped in black satin, a beaded applique and finished in a black + white cameo...

this one is for the girl who adores all things soft, artsy and vintage...she's super feminine and has a weakness for ruffles, lace, doilies and anything "grandma-chic"...so of course she'll fall head over heels for these blush toned peonies, pink ranunculas, silver brunia berries and fuzzy gray dusty miller foliage. arranged in a white ceramic vase that has been wrapped in a thick cuff of antique inspired ivory lace, this one is perfect for the girl who says things like "swoon" and "i heart" ;)

THE MINIMALIST - $50.00

favorite designers: calvin klein + michael kors

hobby: pilates + yoga

must-have item: nars lip gloss

drink of choice: champagne

this lady is a modern sophisticate with impeccable taste - she doesn't over-clutter her home or over-accessorize her outfits...so keep it clean and simple with this arrangement of 20 stems of tulips, set in an ultra classic rectangular glass vase...

for those of you that love the tulips but want to jazz them up a bit, we are offering a selection of trims, laces, velvets and beaded appliques to be added on a per order basis...if you let us know which trim you like, we can let you know a price to add it based on the desired arrangement...
